More April Activities

 Sunday, April 12, 2020


Bruce and I took a walk along Rock Creek.  We wanted to see how the work on the Purple Line was going.  We really miss walking along the trail that will someday be the completed Purple Line.

We took a walk through our extended neighborhood.  Started out walking through the Grace Episcopal Graveyard.


Note:  Added later in the year.  After the George Floyd murder and riots, Cancel Culture forced the removal of this tombstone.

Went walking today at the American Chestnut Land Trust in Prince Frederick, MD.  Lots of people out hiking.  Not much else to do, but it is easy to get out by ourselves on the trails.

Window visit to Dad.  I received some birthday presents from Dad.  Isn't the wrapping great!  Thanks, Debra.  He gave me some really warm slippers and this neat RV sign.

Happy 47th Anniversary to Us.



Wednesday, April 29, 2020

We have been visiting a lot of cemeteries and graveyards.  It's a very peaceful place to take a walk and sometimes learn some history.  Today we visited Rockville Cemetery and the grave of a famous baseball player from this area, Walter Johnson.






There was a flyover here in Silver Spring today by the combined Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds.
It was their way to make us feel a little better during this stressful time.  They flew along a portion of the Beltway.   Unfortunately, the phone camera couldn't do much to catch the pass and the incredible sound as they went overhead.  Even the police stopped for a few minutes to watch the event.

101 years and Food that's Fun

 April 1, 2020 - April 5, 2020

On Saturday night April 4, we did an appetizer dinner.  Wings, poppers, bacon-wrapped chestnuts, creamed stuffed strawberries.  Food has become way too important during Covid.

Who would ever believe the times we are living in.  Sunday, April 5 is Dad's 101st birthday.  What a milestone and we can't even be with him to celebrate.  What we came up with was a celebration outside his window.  On Wednesday I made some posters we could hold while we sang Happy Birthday to him.  

Bruce and I, Mark and Anita, Chris, Candice, and Brandon all stood down below his window and wished him the best birthday we could.  He had a cake from Aspenwood and sent down some pieces for us to share.  Considering the times I guess it was certainly noteworthy.
